Abstract: Twelve different spatial configurations of southerly warm season low-level wind maxima in the Great Plains were identified in Part I, based on streamline orientation and curvature, the location of confluence and deformation ...

Abstract: A synoptic climatological approach was used to investigate 1) the airflow characteristics of southerly low-level wind maxima in the Great Plains, 2) the typical thermodynamic environments in which low-level wind maxima ...

Abstract: limatological analyses of low-level jets (LLJs) can be negatively influenced by the coarse spatial and temporal resolution and frequent changes in observing and archiving protocols of rawinsonde observations (raobs). The ...

Abstract: he North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) was used to develop an expanded, long-term (1979?2009) climatology of meridional (southerly and northerly) low-level jets over North America and surrounding coastal environs. ...
